God Has Manners

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” (Romans 3:20)

God has manners.

He’s not the typical guy you find on the street who drools and cat-calls. He’s not the ex-boyfriend who won’t leave you alone. He’s not the dude who doesn’t understand consent.

He simply knocks at the door. If you open it and let Him in, He will dine with you.

If you don’t want God in your life, you don’t have to open the door.

It’s really that simple.

What does this say about the nature of God? It means, at least in part, that God has enough self-esteem and respect for others not to impose Himself on people. God wants a real relationship with you, but will not intrude.
